Run away, then, if they are not teaching Judo his rank claim doesn't really matter.

I can update that a little bit: they go over "Judo" on occasion, which has been described thusly: "We get on our knees, grab the other guy's gi here (indicating collar) and try to turn him onto his back."

That's hilarious... :P

I am a nanadan in Google-fu and I find NO other reference to an instructor named Isaku Suzuki.

I can't say there isn't one... but chances are low...
